Finally got back to the Ferrari 250 LM (1965 Le Mans winner at 1/12 scale by Model Factory Hiro). You may recall I quit in disgust when I couldn't get the engine lid to fit -- the first picture illustrates the problem.
Also the dinky little hinges in the kit didn't like the manhandling and bailed on me. So built a new hinge out of 1 mm wire, 1.5 mm brass tube and a block of 40 mm x 60 mm styrene rectangular section rod. Then added some paint to fix the chips, also due to manhandling.
Next the body goes back on the chassis and I get back into it, for instance doing up the spokes on the remaining 4 wire wheels (yes, there are five wheels -- there's a spare). These MFH kits are like a love-hate relationship. Beautiful but frustrating.
